garysorrell -> David, possible to get more 8man roster sizes? (4/15/2007 11:54:13 PM)

If possible, in the future, I would love to see game supported variations in roster sizes. I know we can edit it now, but its obviously 'at our own risk'.

In particular, I would like to see a roster that would add some spots to the indoor game. 20 man rosters are fine, but it pretty much forces 2 way players. Which is fine, but I would like to specialize a bit more. 40 man is a bit much for the 8 man setup, at least to me it is. It affords you basically 2 full rosters for each side of the ball. You can have 16off, 16 def, 8 more players active and 5 inactive. Or whatever variation you like.

I would like to see a 25 and/or 30 man roster. That lets me set my starters and have 10 or 15 active slots for backups.

I know it can be edited, I have an Indoor League with 30 roster spots. I just was curious if David could 'Officially' add a couple to the game.

I love undocumented features :-)

Im enjoying following your league....fun to watch leagues play out over a season.

Hey Gary, I was not aware you could edit the roster limits.  For 8 Man Football, 30 Player slots would work better, especially if you use Platoon Offense/Defense instead of Ironman Rules. 

How do you edit MaxFB to give 30 players instead of 20 or 40?



garysorrell -> RE: David, possible to get more 8man roster sizes? (4/20/2007 2:46:01 PM)

Info pertaining to a league are in that leagues file, example: lge_afl.mdb

back it up just in case

I use the database viewer from FBMAX http://www.fbmax.com/utilities.asp

Its the first one listed under data base tools

download it, unzip it and then start it up. click browse and go to the matrix/maxfb folder and select whatever league file you want to edit and open it.

select the 'Leagues' table from the left and there is where all the info is stored. scroll to the right until you see maxplayersonroster

just change that to whatever you want. the number doesnt include the inactive list. that number must be hardcoded in the game. so whatever you type in here is the active roster. so if you want 30 instead of 20, type 30.

*******word of warning*******
This is of course not sanctioned by the Max Football Gods

You will have to create a Team Profile that reflects the 30 roster spots, or when the computer drafts you will get 30 QBs, literally. The AI needs each team to have a proper profile or else it just fills in with whatever. I will post the contents of mine if you want to just assign it to each team. you can edit it in game to your liking

there is no save button in the data base viewer, when you make a change, it is immediate, and there is no undo command....so backup the mdb file of your league just in case

*********even though you changed the roster size, it doesnt add this new size to the selectable ones in the League Edit screen. It will still say 20. So make sure you set all your league rules in game first, then edit the roster size in the data base viewer last. I am pretty sure if you change rules later, in game, it resets the roster size to whatever the default was. So if you need to change a rule, go back and check with the data base viewer to see if it reset to 20 before drafting or trying to play a game*****

Copy the below and paste in a txt file and save to your
C:\Matrix Games\Maximum-Football\TeamProfiles
although C: may be different for others, thats where mine is installed.

name of txt file should be 30_8man.txt

30 the roster size, so it must match what you changed it to, the 8man can actually be whatever, you just have to have 30_

go into the game and load this into a team and make changes if necessary, then export it. then you can load it for all teams. Make sure all teams have a proper profile for the new roster size or the draft gets wonky.
